Description Jay Wren 2017-08-17 05:51:10 AEST 
When using the -3 option a "No such file or directory" error is not displayed as it is when using the same source and target without the -3 option.

I expect to see an error message if the source does not exist.

e.g.

$ scp delays:DNE delays:/tmp/
DNE: No such file or directory

$ scp -3 delays:DNE delays:/tmp/
$

With the -3 option, I get no indication that there was a failure other than exit value being nonzero.

This is already filled as the bug #2338, even with the attached patch that I wrote years ago. It also describes why it is currently so.
